Chapter 322 Wasted chess
Concubine Jing almost did not sleep all night. Even if Mother Wu prepared everything with great care, it was not as exquisite and comfortable as her Jingyue Palace. She regretted leaving the palace so late.
When she got up in the morning and was dressing, she sat in front of the mirror and found a black spot under her eye. She immediately smashed everything on the floor.
Mother Wu, who came to arrange breakfast, was affected. The broken porcelain pieces flying through the air happened to hit her cheek. Although the wound was not big, a lot of blood was lost, which looked very scary.
He was just an old servant, so Concubine Jing naturally didn't take him seriously. She rubbed her palm, which was sore from using too much force, and asked:
"Go and invite the genius doctor Nan Rong here. I have something to ask him."
Mother Wu covered her cheeks with her hands. Not only did she not receive the slightest bit of concern, but she was even ordered to do things. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
She has followed the Third Prince ever since he left the palace and set up his own residence. This is the first time in all these years that she has suffered such a great injustice.
She reluctantly said yes and quickly left this dangerous place. She was very glad that the third prince only inherited his good looks, but his temperament was completely different from his.
Zhou Xiaoxi was helping her master pick medicinal herbs when she saw Mother Wu walk in with her face covered in blood. Although she was used to bloody scenes, she was still shocked.
"Mother Wu, what happened to you? Oh my god, there's so much blood!"
As she spoke, she swiftly searched the medicine box for the wound medicine. Nan Rongyuanzhi came out of the study room upon hearing the sound, and snorted coldly at the sight.
"Changqing would not take his anger out on a nanny, and Qingyue would not even dare to kill a chicken, let alone hurt anyone.
The scar on your face must have been caused by the imperial concubine, right? "
Although he was asking a question, his tone was very firm.
Mother Wu knew that her words were insignificant, so she just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
After Zhou Xiaonan helped bandage the wound, she endured the pain and said to Nan Rongyuanzhi:
"The Imperial Concubine has asked the Divine Doctor to go to the West Courtyard. She has something to ask you."
"Humph, you just want to ask whether her son's legs will be lame? You... forget it, if you go, you will inevitably be tormented by her again.
"Go and ask Xuan Si to reply for me. He is thick-skinned and not afraid of pain. Just tell her that even if her son's leg is cured, he will most likely be disabled. If she doesn't believe in my medical skills, she can ask for help from someone else!"
After hearing this, Mother Wu was stunned for a moment, then she knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times in a row, regardless of the injury on her face.
"Godly doctor, you must heal our prince. He is so handsome and talented. If he becomes lame, what difference will it make to him being ruined?!
I beg you, your medical skills are superb, you will definitely find a cure!"
She spoke with sincerity and her face was full of grief. Nan Rongyuanzhi looked at her carefully for a few seconds, then reached out and helped her up from the ground.
"You were kneeling just now, and I heard something wrong. You must have hurt your knee."
He looked at Zhou Xiaonan and said:
"Nan'er, take Mother Wu to the inner room to have a look at her, and then tell me the details later.
As people age, if they don’t pay attention, they may develop hidden dangers, and one day they may suddenly be unable to stand up. "
Mother Wu's face turned pale and she cooperated very well and went to the inner room.
While Zhou Xiaonan was examining her, Nan Rongyuanzhi directly called Xuan Si over and repeated what he had just said to Mother Wu.
Although Xuan Si's reaction was not as strong as Mother Wu's, his entire body was obviously much stiffer. He was silent for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a thud, directly shaking out a long crack on the entire bluestone brick.
Nan Rongyuanzhi was frightened by him and took several steps back, shouting angrily:
"Do you think you are indestructible? Why are you exerting so much strength?!"
Xuan Si's ears felt hot, and he couldn't hold back and used too much force, and said hesitantly:
"Well, I will find someone to repair the ground later. Divine Doctor, you must cure His Highness, please!"
After saying that, he stood up and left quickly.
After hearing Xuan Si's reply, Concubine Jing seemed to have lost all her strength. No one would question Nan Rongyuanzhi's medical skills. Judging from what he said, it was basically a done deal!
How could she accept that the prince she had cultivated with all her efforts was ruined like this? ! !
Nanny Rong knelt on the ground in panic, and consoled with a trembling voice:
"My queen, isn't there still a 20% chance? Nanrong Divine Doctor is so powerful and he is the Third Prince's uncle. He will definitely cure the prince!"
Imperial Concubine Jing was not comforted at all. She shouted in a sharp voice:
"How can there be any 20% chance? There is no hope at all! Why is my life so miserable..."
Imperial Concubine Jing had completely lost her mind, and all the servants were silent and trembling. Nanny Rong was the closest to her and was the most seriously affected, with several injuries on her body.
Xuan Si expressionlessly dodged the unknown objects flying around and flew away quickly. Although he was dull, he was not stupid.
Concubine Jing never felt sorry for her master from beginning to end. She seemed to be just regretting that the chess piece she had planned for many years had now become a useless chess piece.
He doesn't deserve it for his master!
After Concubine Jing finally calmed down, she left the Third Prince's Mansion without even saying goodbye and went straight back to the palace.
After Xuanyuan Yan knew about it, he just hummed lightly without even moving his eyebrows.
Shangguan Qingyue, on the other hand, was so angry that she puffed up her face and paced back and forth in the hall. Even if she had a lot of dissatisfaction and misunderstanding in her heart, she couldn't say anything bad about the other person's mother in front of the main person.
Even though what his mother did was really chilling!
Since the departure of Imperial Concubine Jing, the Third Prince's Mansion officially began to close its doors to visitors. Shangguan Qingyue also temporarily handed over the management of Shuiyunjian to Baili Jinlin, concentrating on taking care of Xuanyuan Yan.
Nan Rongyuanzhi and his apprentice Zhou Xiaonan stayed in the Prince's Mansion for seven days before leaving. Whenever someone asked him about the Third Prince's leg injury, he always gave the same explanation:
Eighty percent of them will become disabled.
As a result, the story that the handsome third prince had become a lame prince became a hot topic for a while.
Neither the Emperor, the Empress, nor Concubine Jing had ever sent any supplements to the Third Prince's residence. From then on, everyone from the officials in the court to the ordinary people were certain of one thing - the Third Prince had been abandoned.
However, the disturbance outside did not affect the real owner at all. Far from being in a state of collapse as people imagined, the entire Third Prince's Mansion was full of vitality and laughter everywhere.
Before Nan Rongyuanzhi left, he told Xuanyuan Yan not to stay in the house all day, and it would be best for him to stand up and move around every day.
The crutch that Shangguan Qingyue prepared for him finally came in handy.
At first, he was naturally very resistant. It was nothing else, because it made him look ridiculous and he thought it was embarrassing. But he couldn't resist the girl's soft and hard persuasion, and finally agreed to accompany her during her daily morning exercises.
However, after getting used to it over time, I no longer felt it was a big deal, and Xuan Si no longer had any use for his skills.
A month later, the locked door of the Third Prince's Mansion was finally opened.
Xuanyuan Yan was using a cane, and his movements were almost the same as those of an ordinary person. Today, he was going to accompany Shangguan Qingyue to Shuiyunjian.
The weather was clear, with no wind or snow, and the streets were swept very clean and tidy, so the two decided to walk to the store.
The Third Prince's Mansion was only separated from Chang'an Street by a row of houses and Ning'an Street, a total distance of less than two miles. But even at such a short distance, the appearance of the two shocked all the pedestrians they met on the road.
Soon, the news that the third prince limped out of the palace to go shopping spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Shangguan Qingyue was still a little worried at first, but whenever she looked at the person beside her, she only saw a calm and indifferent look on the other person's face.
After confirming again and again, she finally believed that the other party really didn't care about being seen in such a miserable state.
The Shangguan family also got the news quickly, and Shangguan Chong and his wife immediately rushed to Shuiyunjian. They hadn't seen their little daughter for so long, and the couple was still worried.
When I arrived at the store, I saw that my little daughter, whom I had been thinking about so much, not only did not look tired at all, but her cheeks seemed to have become fuller. She was arranging various matters in the store with great energy. My heart finally settled down a little.
As for the other half, I can only wait until my precious daughter leaves the Third Prince’s Mansion and returns to my own home!
"Father, mother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me?"
Shangguan Qingyue smiled brilliantly, her eyes curved into a pair of crescents. Her adorable look almost melted the hearts of the couple.
Baili Nanqing couldn't hold back any more, tears fell down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. She reached out and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, crying like a child.
This is a very heartwarming picture of mother-daughter love, but some people obviously don't think so.
"Madam Shangguan is crying so sadly, could it be that she doesn't want her daughter to serve the Third Prince?
Although the Third Prince is lame now, he is still extremely noble. Even if your daughter only becomes a concubine for the Third Prince, it is considered a gift. What else would you not want?"
